Hi,

Everyone was very helpful in my quest for a sheet of T6 aluminum. Now I'm looking for a sheet of graphite or carbon fiber. Again, looking for about 12" X 24", and about 1/8" thick. Can't find this stuff anywhere. Any ideas anyone? Again, looking to cut out a custom RC car chassis.

Thanks!

They are an advertiser here on RCU, why not support them. For what you want to buy may I suggest you first rob a bank.

Man, you're not kidding. Maybe I'll stick with Aluminum for now, and if I happen to hit the lottery I can always use the aluminum as a template for the CF plate I can then buy. Jeez, makes me wonder how these guys build full scale CF bodies for some of these exotics. The body would cost more than my house!
